Default 10.5's on a fox?

ok trying to get these 10.5" cobra's on my notch with 315's....

i know i have to modify the inner fenders, thats not a problem, but i dont want to have to move the springs or stock shock location.

is it possible or do i have to completly modify the rear suspension?

anything is possible, alot depends on the backspacing orif your willing to use a spacer

thats pretty big though, reversing the quad instead of removing it will give you an extra 3/4" or so

i should mention that i'll have upper/lower control arms with the quad shocks removed, and a panhard bar welded in

this is what i dont want to have to do, see how the shock has been moved to the inside of the frame rail....

No one ever cares or remembers me! lol, Well all I did was use a 1/2inch wheel spacer and longer studs and that did the trick for me. Stock springs a shocks shouldnt be a problem, but the quad shocks will have to go.
